I know tipping culture is extreme, but I've never seen 100%. I don't think this is real.

    If any place said a 30% tip is so so, I'm not tipping.

    If you can't afford living wages for your staff so they're not dependant on tips, your store shouldn't be open.

    Everyone working a job should be making a living wage. "Oh, but then the price of my McDonald's cheeseburger will skyrocket!!" Fucking good. If it's not economical to produce a product without abusing people, that product shouldn't exist. Period. I will die on this hill.

    I don't know why people keep repeating this propaganda. Plenty of countries pay actual wages to their employees, don't have tipping, and the prices are still fucking cheaper than America.

    10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

    This would be an automatic "custom" > 0% for me. Sorry, not sorry.

    Back when 15% was considered standard I liked tipping closer to 30%, but as a direct result of the push to try to make 15% seem low I no longer tip more than 15%.

    My tipping follows the inverse of how much I am paying for the product. If the product is well priced and the service was good I have been known to tip 100% for excellent service. Now that everything is nearly double the cost of what it used to be I am more inclined to tip 50 cents to a dollar max.

    They should be paying exceptionally well for what they are charging, but we know that isn't the case. I don't have unlimited wealth to spend either, fuck me for being poor and wanting some comfort "restaurant" food occasionally.

    Maybe the restaurants should pay their employees so customers don't have to pay them? I know it's a radical thought.

    Select "Custom" and type 0.00 without breaking eye contact. Be careful, though, that 0.00 can quickly turn into 8.88 if you're not looking.

    This was at a self-service kiosk, too, right?

    This would get an immediate Custom -> 0% from me the moment I see it.

    Fucking "soso" for a 20% tip the hell

    Custom: 0%

    Every time.

    If they give me the No Tip option, I usually tip a little bit. But fuck off with this idea that you should be tipped. It helps no one.

    30%: underpaid

    40%: immorally underpaid

    50%; criminally underpaid

    100%: Les Miserables

    It doesn't have to be like this, America. Not only is tipping not expected in Australia, but when the "Choose tip" screen comes up on US made software, all the servers I've ever had skip straight through it and choose zero.

    Servers deserve to be paid fairly.

    soso is the same sound as a word that means breasts in my mother tongue.

    Could be worth it under the best of circumstances.

    That's an immediate $0.

    The moment they ask for a tip they are not getting anything nor a repeat customer.

    I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.

    If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.

    Their bagels are good, and I'm not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn't even present it as in OP - it's just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.

    Edt - oh and if real, I ain't never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.

    30% is "soso" but a 100% is only "Thank You"? In this case the 100% should be "Walk over to the other side of the register so the boss can blow You".
